Very funny.

Imagine a modern home plumbed with waxed cardboard tubing instead of PVC.

There used to be sewer pipe made from tar paper.

Unfortunately, many homes made before the 1970s were built with something known as Orangeburg Pipe (aka Bermico or “fiber conduit”). This is a sewer and drains pipe that is made from a kind of tar paper called “bituminized fiber.”
